Class 15: Answers to Assignment

Chapter 6
Exercise 10:

Hint:
a)   Under what condition does XC short out the lower portion of the voltage divider? When XC is open, what is the result of the voltage divider?
b)   Find the effective impedance of the parallel combination of R2 and C, then use the voltage divider formula to find an expression for the gain.

Ans:
Detailed MathCAD solution

Exercise 23:
Hint:
Use the breakpoint frequency in rad/s to find RC.

Ans:
53 pF

Exercise 24:
Hint:
